செம்பரபாக்கம் ஏரி அளவு

ஆசை வந்தா பாடி புல்லா
சூடாவது தோச கல்லா
அது குளிர குளிர வையிடா
என் கொறைய கொறைய தீருடா
நெறைய நெறைய செய்யிடா
இந்த நிமிஷம் தானே மெய்யிடா
When desire strikes, the whole body
Heats up like a dosa griddle
Place something to cool it down, man
Fulfill my desires completely, man
Do it abundantly, man
Truly, this moment is real, man
டைம்மு வீணா போக வேணா
நீரில் மீனா மாறி நீந்தலாம்

மேக்னட்க்கு என்ன விலை
ஒட்டனும்ண்டா மெட்டல் மேல
வயசு வயசு துள்ளுது
உன்ன வளைக்க வளைக்க சொல்லுது
மனச மனச கிள்ளுது
உன் அழகு உசுர அள்ளுது
காமம் ஒன்னும் பாவம் இல்ல
ஆணும் பொன்னும் ஜோடி சேரத்தான்...ஆ....
ம்ம்...ம்ஹீம்....ம்ம்.... ம்ஹீம்....ம்ம்.... ம்ஹீம்....
What is the price of a magnet?
It must stick onto metal
My youth is leaping with excitement
It tells me to entice you
It pinches my heart
Your beauty takes away my life force
Lust is not a sin at all
For a man and a woman to pair up...
Mm…mheem…mm…..mheem..mm…mheem….
